Dana 80 to heavy for my truck?
My roomy found a dana 80 for his pullin truck and it happens to be close to my home. Rather than pay to ship it from MD to TN, he asked if I could bring it back with me after winter break. My question is.....is that thing going to be too heavy to haul in the bed of my half ton?

Re: Dana 80 to heavy for my truck?
no, it's not too heavy. your truck will squat though. Make sure to air up your rear tires.

Re: Dana 80 to heavy for my truck?
Should be fine. Might be interesting to fit into the bed without banging something up though.
